Help needed on enabling a wireless network on a G4

I have a wireless network using a linksys router. I now need to equip a 467Mhz G4 so that it can connect to the network. The G4 has a spare PCI slot and is also equipped with usb 2.0.
What is the best way to connect the G4? Most of the usb adaptors and pci cards only appear to be Windows compatable.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

As Larry hinted at, your Power Mac G4 666MHz (Digital Audio) has a slot an internal slot for the original 802.11b AirPort card. This is NOT compatible with the AirPort Extreme card.
The G4 has a spare PCI slot and is also equipped with usb 2.0.
USB 2 ?? Is this via a PCI card supplying USB 2 ?? The Power Mac G4 did not have USB 2 but USB 1.1.
The best way to give the G4 wireless capability is via the original AirPort card. Other good choices are either a Mac OS compatible PCI wireless card or an Ethernet wireless adapter. The Ethernet wireless adapter does not require drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet device.
BTW, this is the discussion area for the Intel based iMacs. You should post future questions in the appropriate Power Mac G4 discussion area.

Need help adding 2nd AExpress to wireless network

hey peeps, i'm adding my second AE to my system, which contains a Macbook, a wireless DSL modem and another AExpress which is wireless and is connected to a stereo. I am having trouble connecting the 2nd AE to the system. Everytime i try to configure it it asks me if i want to switch networks, which i don't want to do. When i do that i lose my connection. I need to tie the new AE in to my current system.

Ok, let's double-check the 2nd AX's configuration to join the wireless network provided by the 2wire.
Temporarily connect AX to your Mac Pro using an Ethernet cable, and then, using the AirPort Utility check the following:
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing 2wire's wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

I have a canon scanner MP560 wireless. Needed to create new wireless network and now my computer can't find the scanner/fax..

My iMac doesnt' see my Canon MP560 wi fi scanner ever since I created a wireless network in my house. Can't find a way to change whatever settings i need to to connect the scanner. help.

Well let's see if we can help you get set up. Have you got any 2.4 GHz cordless phones in the house and if so try unplugging them and do a hard reset of the express.
1. unplug the express
2. press the reset button
3. while pressing the reset button plug in the base station
4. keep holding the rest button till you see 4 green lights flash
you may have to hold it for 30 seconds or so
if this doesn't work try plugging the express in right beside the computer and then going through the airport setup assistant
Good luck
Let me know

Hi Everyone, I am Sreedhar , I need to extend the Wireless Network which is connected through cable in Airport Express, Without Airport Extreme Base Station is there any way to extend my WIFI

Need Help

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

WRT54G2 - Help! Copying files over wireless network cripples internet...

When copying files between computers on the wireless network, the internet is completely crippled and unusable.
Is this because there's no bandwidth left for the internet? Anyway of limiting the bandwidth

Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1350 and click Save Settings...
lick on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now check this should resolve the problem.

I need help setting up my Apple wireless network so that there are no conflicts with IP addresses for any of my devices.

I have 2 Airport Extreme Base Stations, 1 is a 5th generation 802.11n and 1 is a 2nd generation 802.11n. I have 2 Extreme Express Base Stations which are 2nd generation 802.11a/n. The idea is to create a network that works throughout my 2 story house and extend into the garage. It's not a large house 1400 sq ft wood construction. The internet feed comes into the Hughes Net modem upstairs. This is where I want the main base station (5th generation). I eventually will connect a network drive and printer to it. I then want to place the second base station in the room directly under the upstairs room where the main base station is and connect my desk top computer to it. In the living room I will have one of the Express Base Stations connected to the Micro Cell and house stereo system. In the garage (50' away from the living room Express Station & 75' from the Main Base Station) I will place the other Extreme Express Base Station to be connected to the garage stereo system. All of this is with the idea to extend the range of my network for all my devices and airplay to my stereo systems.
Ok, so I have a lot of wireless devices. 2 2nd geneartion iPads, 2 iPhone 4s's, 3 Wi-Fi enabled Sony TVs, Apple TV (near the house stereo Extreme Express), AT&T Micro Cell connected to house stereo Extreme Express, Lorex Security DVR system (connected to main base station upstairs), Whole-House DTV Network system,1 Macintosh Quicksilver Desktop computer, 1 MacBook Pro, and 1 Mac AirBook. As you can see I need a lot of DHCP IP addresses.
So, how do I go about setting this all up? I have read countless articles and discussions but I still have conflicts. It usually mostly, but not limited to, effects my wife's AirBook. Not good at all! I used to have a WDS setup but I understand that the 802.11n Airport Extreme's do not support this. And when I try to distribute a range of IP addresses I run into problems. So can someone please help me resolve this headache?

Configure the Extreme connected to the Hughes Net modem as your router. In other words in AirPort Utility, Network tab > Router Mode should be set to "DHCP and NAT". It will provide IP addresses to all the devices on your network.
All other AirPort devices on your network should be configured as bridges: Router Mode "Off".
You may want to configure static IP addresses for any equipment that is likely to be permanently installed. For them, there is no reason to have the Extreme issue an IP address, and they can keep the same one forever.
The Microcell may be able to connect to the Express's LAN port such devices that have to handle voice or other real time audio or video streaming are generally best installed using a strictly wired connection. The same applies to the Sony TV and AppleTV. Keep them on a wired LAN served by the Extreme, avoiding any reliance on a wireless link if at all possible.
The way to implement a complex network like yours is to add one device at a time. Ensure it connects reliably, then add another. You have a lot of work to do.
WDS can be implemented even with new Extremes but its performance is likely to be so unacceptable that it would be nothing more than an exercise in frustration for you.

Airpot express help needed to enable wireless printing.

Hello and thanks to everyone who post on this fourm, I have read and learned alot over the past year. When I bought my Macbook last December It cam with an airport express router. At that time I has a mediocre isp and we were not able to trouble shoot the airport express so I gave up on trying to get it to work. Recently I got DSL and I am using my same linksys. I tried to hook up my airport ex tonight and again just screwed my entire internet up. I really think I will just continue to use my linksys for the net, but is there a way to run my printer downstairs through my airpot express but not use it for the web. Dont get me wrong Im sure they are good but I have spent between 10 to 15 hours reading and trying only to keep going back to linksys.
Thanks so much for all the help

The driver provided by HP doesn't work for network printing, because it bypasses the CUPS system. The only comm protocol you get is what was written into the driver - USB. Install the hpijs and ESP ghostscript driver set from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
Second issue - the windows setup software enters the server queue name during setup, but we don't have that software on OS X. You need to find the queue name in the print server docs, then enter it next to IP address in OS X Printer Setup. Common queue names are L1, lp, lpt1, etc.
Wait - just remembered I downloaded that manual for someone elses's question. The queue name is lp1 (el-p-one). So in Printer Setup select IP printer > LPD, and enter IP address and that queue name.
Good luck.

I need to create a wireless network with a Mac and a Windows PC...

...and I have made certain assumptions. Are they right?
First, the background. We have two ISPs: the Mac is connected to cable broadband via Airport Express (the cable point and the Mac are in separate rooms); the PC laptop is connected to broadband down the phoneline via a wireless Netgear modem (or router? not sure what the difference is). Our printer is connected via USB cable to the Mac and we'd like to be able to print wirelessly from the PC. Ideally, I'd like both computers to access the cable broadband.
Assumption 1: I need to create "A Network";
Assumption 2: Because the PC may on occasion be used beyond the range of Airport that network should access the web via the Netgear modem/router;
Assumption 3: My first step is to plug the Netgear modem/router into the cable modem and reset the Mac to work with the Netgear thing.
Assumption 4: Next step is to change network settings on the PC to go online via cable.
Assumption 5: Then I weave some voodoo to create A Network (sorry, but this is virgin territory).

I would recommend that you set up your home network to have one single broadband access point for one and only one wireless router/modem combo (Netgear), that has NAT enabled and DHCP enabled. Then, I believe that Airport Extreme Base Stations can be set up in a "range extender" mode (sorry I don't have one so don't know all the details on this). It would not be set up as a router administering NAT or DHCP, it would be set up more like as if it were a hub (analogy: AC electrical power "octopus" outlet). Lastly, this website has a ton of information on how to set up Macs and PCs to do file sharing, printer sharing, etc., in either direction.

Help Needed to set up Wireless Modem/Router

Howdy all,
I have a new MacBook Pro connected to the internet via a BigPond supplied Speedtouch modem through ethernet cable. I have an Open Network 824RLW router/adsl modem that I would like to use for a wireless connection.
I just can't seem to get it to work. It says connected to wlan-app...
I read some of the discussions here and on whirlpool and there seems to be concerns about the extreme cards in the MBP.
Please can someone tell me what settings (Mac and Modem) I need to make to get the MBP to talk to the router/modem. I can get into the modem settings easily enough and think I have set it up correctly but don't have bigpond support to know exactly what needs to be done.
Thanks.

Help needed setting up cluster communication network

Hi,
I need some help setting up a two node cluster communication network.
I have two virtual Servers each with four virtual nics.
I want to create a network for:
Management
Heartbeat
Live Migration
iSCSI
What type of switch would I need to create for each of them? (External/Internal/Private)
I presume that they would all have to be external as they will have to be able to communicate with the other host in the cluster through the physical network.
Would I need to configure VLANs on the physical switch to keep the traffic isolated?
Thanks

That's all. I don't see any reason to create 4th node. Regarding the iSCSI target - for the test you can install this one
https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san-free on the Hyper-V host which can create iSCSI disks. Just create Internal network for the iSCSI traffic (add third adapter to the
FS nodes of course) which is providing network visibility between the VMs and the hypervisor. (you can use the external network too of course).
Regarding the live migration - this is something you cannot test with single hyper-v host. You'll need at least two. You can try ESX which can expose virtualization instructions to the VMs and create two Hyper-V VM to test live migration.
1) It's actually possible to install StarWind Virtual SAN on the same hosts where hypervisor (in this case Hyper-V) runs. That would build so-called hyper-converged setup, something Microsoft is going to represent with Windows Server 2016 (vNext) and Storage
Spaces Direct. Except MSFT requires at least 4 nodes and StarWind can do 2 and 3 :)
2) All hypervisors except Hyper-V do support "nested" virtualization these days. So for very lean labs f.e. ESXi sounds like a better choice.

Help needed to enable ISO-8859-1 encoding in Weblogic 10.3

We have upgraded from Weblogic 10 to Weblogic 10.3. In the old environment foreign characters (iso-8859-1 charater set) were enabled using the Java properties "*-Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 -Dclient.encoding.override=iso-8859-1*".
Also, we set the page encoding in the JSPs to be
_'<%@ page pageEncoding="iso-8859-1" contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" %>'._
This was working fine. We were able to input characters like euro (€) and display it back to user.
After we upgraded to Weblogic 10.3, I applied the same Java properties, all the special characters of the 8859-1 set like Æ, Ã etc are just displayed as garbled text like 'ï¿½ï¿½ï' etc. So, the new server is unable to handle/encode these characters.
Our weblogic environment is - Weblogic appserver 10.3, JRockit 1.6.0_31-R28.2.3-4.1.0 running on Linux OS.
Is there any additional seting in 10.3 to encode character sets?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kalyan,
Thanks for the info. Please help me understand just one more thing, before I ask our server team to apply the patch.
I checked the full version of our Weblogic server from WEBLOGIC_HOME/registry.xml. It is *<component name="WebLogic Server" version="10.3.6.0" >*.
The patch from MOS says it is *"Release WLS 10.3.3"*. Does this mean the version 10.3.6 should already have this patch? Is the release of Patch same as WLS version?
Should I still go ahead and install the patch for this version 10.3.6 also?
Thanks again.
- Shankar.
